What would be the right price to pay for new 2007 Keystone Passport 280BH? Currently have a 2005 Shamrock 236 hybrid which may or may not be part of the transaction.

Don't really have an answer but some comments. Is it new or used? Especially if used, I would go to NADA vaules on the internet, then click on the RV section and look up the "book value" of that unit just as you would a car or truck. But, guessing that RV sales might be down right now, I would probably not want to pay the book value but maybe 80 or 90% of book or even less. Also, you can negotiate much better if you do not trade in you present unit but buy the new one outright if possible.

We just purchased a 2008 Passport 280 BH a month ago. First of all, we've had it out 3 times and we love it!! We live in Southern California so I think we might have paid a bit more for the freight out to the west coast from manufacture. We paid $18,000, the list price was just over $26,500. Ours came with the 19" LCD flat panel. If you have any questions about the TT let me know!


We love to get away in our new TT

Don't have a clue about your possible trade in but on a straight out cash sale you can easilly deduct at least 35% off the MSRP of the TT you want to purchase. If the dealer won't deduct at least 35% (I'd start at 40%)off an outright sale, walk and keep shopping. There's only about a 1000 more TT's just like it out there collecting dust on sales lot's and this one is already a model year old.

Happy camping!!! See ya'll down the road!!!
